Investigation underway after man’s body found in Dublin flat
Gardaí are treating as suspicious the death of a man whose body was discovered in a flat complex in Dublin. The man’s body was found in a flat at Kevin Barry House on Coleraine Street in Dublin’s north inner city. Gardaí were called to the flat on Monday and when they arrived, they discovered the man’s body as well as a number of people who may have been living there. Gardaí suspect that the body may have been there for a number of days. The scene was preserved pending the arrival of the State Pathologist. Gardaí suspect that the man died violently but will await the outcome of a post-mortem examination, which is due to be carried out tomorrow before upgrading the investigation. The man’s age and identity have yet to be established.

Free contraception scheme to commence on Wednesday
Females aged between 17-25 will be able to avail of free contraception from GPs from tomorrow, Wednesday, a Government source has confirmed. Health Minister Stephen Donnelly is expected to launch the scheme at the Department of Health this week, but sources have confirmed to the Irish Examiner that the plan is for the measure to come into effect from Wednesday. It will be up to individual GPs to sign up to the scheme. However, it is not expected that every doctor will do so, as this will depend on patient demographics at each practice, and the ability of doctors to take on extra work.
